A young missionary said something in the office last week that was so profound we wanted to share it. He and his companion had just finished a very hard week - they had been sick, rejected, rained on, left in the airport twice for hours, chastised, etc. etc. - typical missionary life. In spite of this Elder Adam Zenger had a smile on his face and was whistling. Sister Button asked him how he could still be so happy after all he had been through recently. He just smiled and said: "I only have two years to be a full-time representative of the Lord Jesus Christ, so if my life is hard - Boo Hoo!"

Companions - Elder Oviatt and Elder Zenger

We love the young missionaries we serve with. They inspire us with their faith in Jesus Christ, their love for others and their desire to do all they can to bring the joy of the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the people of Puerto Rico. It is one of the greatest privileges of our life to be one with them in the service of the Lord.
